2 Chronicles 26

1 All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.

是においてユダの民みなウジヤをとりて王となしてその父アマジヤに代らしめたり時に年十六なりき

2 It was he who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his ancestors.

彼エラテの邑を建てこれを再びユダに歸せしむ是はかの王がその先祖等とともに寝りし後なりき

3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign. He reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jekoliah; she was from Jerusalem.

ウジヤは十六歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて五十二年の間世を治めたりその母はヱルサレムの者にして名をヱコリアといふ

4 He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, following the example of his father, Amaziah, in everything.

ウジヤはその父アマジヤが凡てなしたる如くヱホバの善と觀たまふ事を行ひ

5 He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who taught him to honor God. As long as he sought Yahweh, God made him prosper.

神の默示に明なりしかのゼカリヤの世にある日の間心をこめてヱホバを求めたりそのヱホバを求むる間は神これをして幸福ならしめたまへり

6 Uzziah went out and fought against the Philistines. He broke down the city walls of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod; he built cities in the country of Ashdod and among the Philistines.

彼いでてペリシテ人と戰ひガテの石垣ヤブネの石垣およびアシドドの石垣を圮しアシドドの地ならびにペリシテ人の中間に邑を建つ

7 God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabians who lived in Gurbaal, and against the Meunites.

神かれを助けてペリシテ人グルバアルに住むアラビヤ人およびメウニ人を攻撃しめたまへり

8 The Ammonites paid tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread, even to the entrance of Egypt, because he was becoming more powerful.

アンモニ人はまたウジヤに貢を納るウジヤの名つひにエジプトの入口までも廣まれり其は甚だ強くなりければなり

9 In addition, Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.

ウジヤ、ヱルサレムの隅の門谷の門および角隅に戌樓を建てこれを堅固にし

10 He built watchtowers in the wilderness and dug many cisterns, for he had much cattle, in the lowlands as well as in the plains. He had farmers and vine growers in the hill country and in the fruitful fields, for he loved farming.

また荒野に戌樓を建て許多の水溜を掘り其は家畜を多く有たればなり亦平野にも平地にも家畜を有り又山々およびカルメルには農夫と葡萄を修る者を有り農事を好みたればなり

11 In addition, Uzziah had an army of fighting men who went out to war in groups which were organized by their number that were counted by Jeiel, the scribe, and Maaseiah, the officer, under the authority of Hananiah, one of the king's commanders.

ウジヤ戰士一旅團あり書記ヱイエルと牧伯マアセヤの數調査によりて隊々にわかれて戰爭に出づ皆王の軍長ハナニヤの手に屬す

12 The whole number of the leaders of the families who led the mighty men was 2,600.

大勇士の族長の數は都合二千六百

13 Under their hand was an army of 307,500 men that made war with mighty power to help the king against the enemy.

その手に屬する軍勢は三十萬七千五百人みな大なる力をもて戰ひ王を助けて敵に當る

14 Uzziah prepared for them—for all the army—shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones for slinging.

ウジヤその全軍のために楯戈兜鎧弓および投石器の石を備ふ

15 In Jerusalem he built machines that were designed by skillful men to be on the towers and on the battlements to shoot arrows and large stones. His fame spread to distant lands, for he was greatly helped and so he became very powerful.

彼またヱルサレムにおいて工人に機械を案へ造らしめ之を戌樓および石垣に施こし之をもて矢ならびに大石を射出せり是においてその名遠く廣まれり其は非常の援助を蒙りて旺盛になりたればなり

16 But when Uzziah had become powerful, his heart was lifted up so that he acted corruptly; he trespassed against Yahweh, his God, for he went into the house of Yahweh to burn incense on the altar of incense.

然るに彼旺盛になるにおよびその心に高ぶりて惡き事を行なへり即ち彼その神ヱホバにむかひて罪を犯しヱホバの殿に入て香壇の上に香を焚んとせり

17 Azariah, the priest, went in after him, and with him eighty priests of Yahweh, who were brave men.

時に祭司アザリヤ、ヱホバの祭司たる勇者八十人を率ゐて彼の後にしたがひ入り

18 They resisted Uzziah, the king, and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to Yahweh, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the holy place, for you have been unfaithful and you will not be honored by Yahweh God.”

ウジヤ王を阻へてこれに言けるはウジヤよヱホバに香を焚ことは汝のなすべき所にあらずアロンの子孫にして香を焚ために潔められたる祭司等のなすべき所なり聖所より出よ汝は罪を犯せりヱホバ神なんぢに榮を加へたまはじと

19 Then Uzziah became angry. He was holding a censer in his hand to burn incense. While he was angry with the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead before the priests in the house of Yahweh, beside the altar of incense.

是においてウジヤ怒を發し香爐を手にとりて香を焚んとせしがその祭司にむかひて怒を發しをる間に癩病その額に起れり時に彼はヱホバの室にて祭司等の前にあたりて香壇の側にをる

20 Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and, behold, he had become leprous on his forehead. They quickly drove him out of there. Indeed, he hurried to go out, because Yahweh had struck him.

祭司の長アザリヤおよび一切の祭司等彼を見しに已にその額に癩病生じゐたれば彼を其處より速にいだせり彼もまたヱホバの己を撃たまへるを見て自ら急ぎて出去り

21 Uzziah, the king, was a leper to the day of his death and lived in a separate house since he was a leper, for he was cut off from the house of Yahweh. Jotham, his son, was over the king's house and ruled the people of the land.

ウジヤ王はその死る日まで癩病人となり居しがその癩病人となるにおよびては別殿に住りヱホバの室より斷れたればなり其子ヨタム王の家を管理て國の民を審判り

22 The other matters concerning Uzziah, from first to last, were recorded by the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz.

ウジヤのその餘の始終の行爲はアモツの子預言者イザヤこれを書記したり

23 So Uzziah slept with his ancestors; they buried him with his ancestors in a burial ground that belonged to the kings, for they said, “He is a leper.” Jotham, his son, became king in his place.

ウジヤその先祖等とともに寝りたれば彼は癩病人なりとて王等の墓に連接る地にこれを葬りてその先祖等とともならしむその子ヨタムこれに代りて王となれり
